    I once thought of a movie while coughing into a microphone. I opened the recorded cough with VLC and it played the movie.

      You don’t even need to cough with the right setting on. That’s just a safety feature for the uninitiated, so that they don’t submit freaked out bug reports.

      Vlc has hardware acceleration afaik. I think its more a case of the ffmpeg codec not supporting it yet because what the actual fuck haha

        Yeah, I think it’s a good idea to try ffplay if VLC (or mpv) fail.

        I’ve never stopped getting updates.I’ve been using K-Lite Codec Pack since Kazaa lite was relevant. It has always come with updated MPC-HC. Looks like the GitHub is here:

        https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

        MPC-HC with madVR and a beefy GPU for the upscaling algorithms is godlike.

      VLC is nice, but same as SMplayer or Mplayer, it can`t download a video, but record it in streaming. I used VLC before, but VLC lacks in speed, it’s very slow compared to the mencioned.

      I has one boss who wanted to stream 2 4K60 cctv feeds to his laptop while in the office. Needless to say his laptop struggles with a single 4K I didn’t even bother setting up the second feed.

        I don’t know what they mean, but to me it didn’t become less great, just MPV (based players) are often better. They are more customizable (even scriptable) and better with the resource usage.

          Hummm, Don’t get me wrong I like the command line when I work on my GUI-less server, but a video player to run through the command line on a daily drive desktop with GUI and everything?

          This seems a bit overkill and useless no? I mean when I’m on my desktop I just want to click on my media file and launch it right away.

          Maybe I’m not the target audience and it’s focus is more entitled to people working in the video industry and needs more granular tweaking with specific media files? Scripts?

          Or Am I missing something here?

            I’m not running it from the command line, I open videos with it from my file manager, or through the Jellyfin plugin.

            I mean when I’m on my desktop I just want to click on my media file and launch it right away.

            Yes, that’s what I do. Of course, your desktop environment has to know that you have this MPV and it can open such and such files, but it can work like that.
